History:

A permit for a new noncommercial FM station was granted to Elijah Radio, Inc. in January 2022, licensed to the town of Margaret in St. Clair County.  The original grant was for 100 watts atop Bald Rock Mountain at 817 feet HAAT (Height Above Average Terrain) with an exceptionally tight directional antenna pattern.  In December 2022, a modification was filed to lower the power slightly while raising the height.  That facility filed a license to cover on 21 December 2022.
